Celebrating Dad's birthday!

Dad is getting ready to blow out candles on a banana pudding "cake"! Eric's lighting, Joan's pointing...

Opening presents - has anyone had any trouble with Tribbles lately? This is a Star Trek ornament that has Tribbles tumbling out on Captain Kirk.

Eric and Larry and Muffin relax after a great supper! Larry cooked dogs and burgers...

Mom is swinging with Caleb and Muffin.

Jeff and Caleb enjoy Joan's pond - Caleb, throwing rocks into the pond and feeding the fish.

Emily, Eric, and Caleb have a final birthday card for Dad. He reads it aloud... the big announcement... a picture of Caleb holding this sign is inside of it.Amanda gets to reread the card as she and Trent were inside during the announcement. She looks puzzled here, but quickly catches on!
So Dad is going to have 2 great-grandchildren by 2010, Lord willing! What a birthday!

June is a month for parties!

Jeff and I celebrated Pete's birthday in Clover! We had barbecue and all the sides, including a lemon pound cake. This is a great picture of Nancy! She is modeling her Camp Joy T-shirt. She'll be going again next month!

Elizabeth gave Caleb a collapsible tube which he enjoyed tremendously!

He had to put Puppy in the tube, as well the Pooh Train (that took some maneuvering!)
